using varnish for load balancing - varnish

i write a varnish vcl rules for my server and i don't know this is sufficient for my intent. i want run my project on 2 ports of server and on another server such that if one server gone down ,requests forward to other server. moreover i want to serve static files such that don't working apache web server and request for them directly sent to tornado. this is my vcl rules , can u help me ?
import directors;

## xml
if (req.request == "GET" && req.url ~ "\.(xml)$") {

}
### do not cache these rules:
if (req.request != "GET" && req.request != "HEAD") {
pipe;
}
### if it passes all these tests, do a lookup anyway;
lookup;

}

Depending on if you require sessions to work for users you should switch from round_robin to hash. This will ensure the same users will be directed to the same backend.

Varnish http to https

I am new to varnish or programming in general. I want to setup http to https redirect for my domain.
Here's what I have so far
sub vcl_recv {
if (req.http.X-Forwarded-Proto != "https" || req.http.Scheme != "https"){
error 750 "http to https";
}
sub vcl_error {
if (obj.status == 750){
set obj.status = 302;
set obj.http.location = "https://" + req.http.Host + req.url;
}
return(deliver);
}
However, this seems to trigger for https requests instead of http. What am I doing wrong?
You seem to be using syntax from an extremely old version of Varnish.
See https://www.varnish-software.com/developers/tutorials/redirect/ for an official tutorial on HTTP to HTTPS redirection.
Here's a code snippet from that tutorial that allows you to redirect HTTP to HTTPS:
vcl 4.1;
import proxy;
backend default {
.host = "127.0.0.1";
.port = 8080;
}
sub vcl_recv {
if ((req.http.X-Forwarded-Proto && req.http.X-Forwarded-Proto != "https") ||
(req.http.Scheme && req.http.Scheme != "https")) {
return (synth(750));
} elseif (!req.http.X-Forwarded-Proto && !req.http.Scheme && !proxy.is_ssl()) {
return (synth(750));
}
}
sub vcl_synth {
if (resp.status == 750) {
set resp.status = 301;
set resp.http.location = "https://" + req.http.Host + req.url;
set resp.reason = "Moved";
return (deliver);
}
}

Varnish Request Url was not the same with apache request

I am sending a request to Varnish but the request was changed so that the output is wrong
original request:
admin/catalog/category/grid/key/d53fe1b4a969a873d1e0b2174848cef5b10797c35dce4c51be04d470db648e8c/id/2/filter//page/2/?ajax=true&isAjax=true
request which was pushed to varnish (varnishlog)
admin/catalog/category/grid/key/b5fbeb78a5bd6bedcb698beac083361a9891a04484bb59541b69e9420fb691aa/id/2/filter/page/3/?ajax=true&isAjax=true
a slightly different between the 2 requests is the filter/ and filter// part.
When coming with an original request: the site takes filter as param and with value ""
But with Request pushed to varnish: it becomes filter as param and with value page, then param page was not found and made the code go wrongs.
Adding my vcl content:
vcl 4.0;
import std;

Varnish add more slash in URL

My varnish cache is accelerator mode and it cause adding more slash after URL.
I check with gtmetrix:
Avoid landing page redirects for the following chain of redirected URLs.
https://www.example2.com/
https://www.example2.com//
https://www.example2.com/
and with google pagespeed test:

In our test, your server responded in 1.6 seconds. There are many factors that can slow down your server response time.

Somebody know the reason why varnish do that ?
req.url always includes a / at the beginning.
so correct would be:
set req.http.x-redir = "https://www.example2.com" + req.url;
your question does not correspond to the example1/example2 as it includes XXX and YYY
if you can post a less redacted VCL - i may can help you a bit more
you may need a != "/" on req.url before redirecting. as this would result in a //

Varnish returns incorrect backend content from User-Agent rule

I have a simple rule to redirect traffic to special backend if the User-Agent == GlobalSign or if the request url is /globalsign. I have noticed on a rare occasion varnish will return content from the special backend incorrectly. It seems happens randomly and does not repeat.
if (req.http.User-Agent ~ "(?i)GlobalSign" || req.url ~ "^/globalsign" ) {
set req.url = "/";
set req.backend = dgs1;
return(pipe);
}
Backend rules
backend b1 {
//Backend 1
.host = "10.8.8.16";
.port = "80";
.probe = {
.url = "/service_up";
.timeout = 1s;
.interval = 5s;
.window = 10;
.threshold = 8;
}
}
backend gs1 {
// Set host: Globalsign
.host = "10.8.8.15";
.port = "80";
.probe = {
.url = "/service_up";
.timeout = 5s;
.interval = 5s;
.window = 10;
.threshold = 8;
}
}
director dgs1 random {
{
.backend = gs1;
.weight = 1;
}
}
director d01 random {
{
.backend = b1;
.weight = 1;
}
}

set req.backend = d01;
if( req.url ~ "^/service_up" ) {
return(lookup);
}
if(client.ip ~ evil_networks){
error 403 "Forbidden";
}
if (req.http.User-Agent ~ "(?i)GlobalSign" || req.url ~ "^/globalsign" ) {

I guess return(pipe); is the suspect one.
If you have keep-alive HTTP client making just one request with GlobalSign user agent or to /globalsign url, all subsequent requests will be piped to dgs1, even if they do not meet the criteria.
Try to avoid piping if possible, it's common source of a lot of hard to track issues. And possibly security hole too.

Varnish frontend server, Litespeed backend server

I wonder if someone could advise what I'm doing wrong.
I have Varnish set up on a frontend server, and this is working. I can put the IP address for several public websites into this (including CNN) into the configuration, and they are cached by Varnish.
When I put one of my site IP address' into Varnish, I get a 404 error back from the Litespeed server - this shows it's connecting to the server, but obviously not picking up the correct site to show Varnish. I have several domains on the Litespeed server, each with it's own IP address. The same happens with the direct URL.
This is I guess a problem with the Litespeed configuration - but any assistance would be appreciated.
For reference, I'm using the VCL configuration file for PageCache, which is a Magento module for Varnish.

To what port is your Varnish server bound? And what port do you use for Litespeed?
It would be useful if you could post your config files here to give you further advices.
This is what I needed! Configure multiple sites with Varnish
I needed to put the virtual host names into the configuration file. Followed this guide and had it work in moments!
